Overview
Mission
Promotion and education of the sheep in industry in Washington State.
What it reported doing in 2024
We provided the opportunity for producers to sell and buy sheep at the Ram Sale. We were able to host two lambing schools that provided educational opportunities for individuals to learn about the proper care of ewes and lambs during lambing. Were also able to provide three scholarships to individuals pursing higher educational opportunities. We produce a bimonthly newsletter that provides individuals to up to date market information, upcoming events both locally and nationally as well as other important industry information.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and total assets are large relative to annual expenses, but may not be spendable cash. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
